About
The Missing Persons Community of Interest (MPCI) began through the conversations and after action reporting of the communities working with and among missing persons projects in support of the 2010 Haitian earthquake disaster response and recovery. The MPCI began informally convening via conference calls to discuss how lessons learned in Haiti and other past disasters could be incorporated to prepare for future crises.
MPCI is an open community with participants from local disaster management, international humanitarian relief organizations, private sector technology companies, non-profits, technology volunteer communities and individuals. The community believes in a free and open exchange of lessons learned to increase the potential for innovation and relationship building but is conscious of the need of crisis response organizations who may request closed information sharing sessions and capabilities to share within the MPCI. This open community seeks to augment and support crisis response authorities if they seek to work in the best interest of the persons affected by crisis.
